You'll Bring

  • A knack for creating stories that inspire action, resonate with diverse audiences, and align with organizational goals.
  • Commercial awareness and business acumen, understanding how communication drives results and supports strategic objectives.

  • Strong stakeholder management skills, able to collaborate across teams, influence decisions, and deliver under tight deadlines.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with confidence in engaging different audiences.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset, comfortable navigating complexity and balancing creativity with strategic priorities.

If you're ready to use your skills to amplify stories that matter and help create positive change for communities, we'd love to hear from you.

Qualifications

  • A degree in Communications, Journalism, or a related field is preferred.
  • Full NZ work rights.
  • Driver's licence (as you'll be out meeting people).
